WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald Trump touted the massive financial gains from his administration’s historic trade deals, claiming the U.S. is now taking in trillions of dollars from agreements with global economic powers including Japan and the European Union.

“We’re taking in trillions of dollars… If you look, Japan — we’re taking in $550 billion, and that’s OUR money. It’s our money to invest as we’d like,” Trump declared.

“European Union — $650 billion… and they’re going to buy $750 billion worth of our energy.”

The remarks highlight Trump’s continued emphasis on economic nationalism and reciprocal trade, crediting his administration with rebalancing trade flows in favor of American workers and industries.

While the specific figures cited have not been independently confirmed, Trump’s allies argue that his renegotiated deals — such as the USMCA and new bilateral arrangements — significantly boosted U.S. exports, leveled the playing field, and secured long-term commitments from trade partners to purchase American goods, particularly energy.
